Your Blogger Prom committee at the end of the night, exhausted but happy

Blogger Prom 2009 is over. I almost can’t believe it. My fellow prom committee members and I had been working on planning the event for the last couple of months, sending emails back and forth every day, working with sponsors, and countless other little things that made the first Blogger Prom a most-awesome event.

Even though I was working for most of the party, I had a great time — and from the responses we’ve been getting from prom attendees, looks like most people did, too. After reading these posts, I realize I missed out on a lot, but it was all worth it because everyone else enjoyed it so much. Check out some of the party people’s posts:

The committee’s day started around 1:00 p.m., though I didn’t get to the Andaz hotel until 3:00 p.m., which was just about the time we started assembling the 200 gift bags. My entire body was sore from all the lifting, squatting and stuffing we did, but it was all worth it for the pretty-darn-amazing-if-I-do-say-so-myself gift bags. We finished just in the nick of time to get ourselves into our party outfits (I was still applying make up when the party officially started!).

Gift bags galore

Anyway, like I said, I didn’t get to try out everything at the prom nor did I get as many photos as I would have liked. So here’s what I got. If you went to Blogger Prom, please add to the Blogger Prom Flickr group!

Food! So. Good.

Even though I didn’t get to meet everyone I set out to meet, those bloggers I did meet were all so cool. We have a great blogging community here in Los Angeles!

What a super clever idea Maya! A blogger prom. As a PR gal, I find this so cool! I am Lisa & Diane Scalia’s PR & online marketing rep. Lisa told me about this and I had to see what she was talking about. Looks like it was tons of fun! Thanks for the posting about the Pasadena tour launch. So appreciate it.

Thanks soo much for all your hard work behind the scenes! I’ve put on big events before so I know how it is to stress and work and futz so that everyone else has a good time. Just know that your efforts were appreciated!
